One of our favorite things to do at JSD is lend our support to local charities and causes. Of the organizations we’ve worked with the Reeves Foundation is at the top of our list. Their tireless dedication to finding a cure and providing assistance for people with spinal cord injuries. The foundation hosts several fundraising events each year, one of which is the “Night for a Cure”.
Featuring performances by Mercury Records recording artist Parachute, and Jesse Ruben, the Reeve Rocks benefit kicked off with a bang at Tenjune on July 21, 2011 in New York City. Hosted by the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation Champions Committee and Manhattan Magazine, guests partied for a great cause and celebrated the Foundation’s mission of curing spinal cord injury by funding innovative research, and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information and advocacy.
